WASHINGTON—Little-used Jose Lobaton hit a three-run homer, Daniel Murphy drove in two runs, and Washington’s bullpen threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings, leading the Nationals past the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 Sunday to even their NL division series at a game apiece. Murphy went 3 for 3, with RBI singles in the fifth and seventh. The Dodgers had led 2-0 on Corey Seager’s first-inning homer and Josh Reddick’s run-scoring hit in the third off Tanner Roark, who lasted 4 1/3 innings. Five Nationals relievers did the rest, with Mark Melancon pitching the ninth to earn the save. The best-of-five series shifts to L.A. for Game 3 on Monday.
